Casper is at 55 now - still rising FAST. Yikes.

Dillo is at 178, still falling.

I am at 338 - rising, but still down there.

mr. flea, whose name was the #1 name for 40 years, is at #2, natch.

Contenders for Hypothetical future baby #3:
Flora: not in top 1000
Louisa: not in top 1000
Edward: 145 and drifting down

Edit: oh my god. Addison is ELEVENTH for girls. Whoa. Gavin is 32 for boys, wonder what that's about.

Matilda has still not cracked the top 1000, although I've met several moms of boys her age who told me that, before they found out the gender, her name had been in their top three girl names (and, through an LJ friend of a friend, Hec recently read the blog of another West Coaster whose 7-month-old daughter shares not only Matilda's first name but her extremely unusal middle name).

I myself am #133, correctly spelled. Not sure how that number would change if you added in all the variant spellings, but I refuse to search for them because they're WRONG.
